Los Angeles-based band Vex Ruffin is one of the Southern California's best kept secrets. Signed to venerable label Stones Throw, Vex Ruffin has emerged onto a scene with early support, marking the group's promise as the next thing in lo-fi garage rock, a genre that has captured the attention of critics and listeners alike. Vex Ruffin tours in and around the Los Angeles area, building momentum for a future that will likely include the group's expanse to other parts of the country and globe, but until then the band is content in an intimate family of musicians as a part of Stones Throw and will no doubt have an easy time crossing over into a wider audience as a result.
